There are several live-action as well as animated movies inside the Star Wars series. The movie franchise began with such a trilogy placed inside the midst of the plot, which has been eventually extended into a trilogy of sequels called the “Skywalker Saga.”
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) as well as Return of the Jedi (1983), alternately dubbed onstage as Episode V as well as Episode VI, followed by that of the original trilogy’s successors The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983).
Years down the line, Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002), as well as Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2003) were published (2005). Following the sale of the Star Wars brand to Disney in 2012, a successor trilogy containing Episodes VII through IX started by The Force Awakens (2015), proceeded through Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), as well as finished with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2018).
Here between the creation of the follow-up trilogy movies and their release, two anthology movies, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and Solo: A Star Wars Story (2017), were released (2018). Rogue Squadron, the third anthology movie, will indeed be released in 2023.
The movies’ aggregate box office receipts total more than US$10 billion, making it the second-highest-grossing movie franchise of all time. The Academy Awards have been nominated for such main live-action films. The first movie is getting nominations in almost every major category, notably Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, as well as Best Supporting Actor for Alec Guinness, whereas all successors received technical nominations.
Prior to Disney’s 2012 acquisition of both brands, several movies was made, however, these spin-offs (with the exception of the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)) are just no longer regarded canon inside the chronology. The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978), produced a year after the original picture, was the very first spin-off. Two live-action movies starring Ewok characters were aired inside the United States as well as distributed theatrically in Europe in 1984 as well as 1985. Several television programmes also have been released that continue or are influenced by that of the canon.
